Heart & Stroke Voice Ireland, as a member of @fh_europe, is supporting their first-ever #HoFHAwarenessDay today to spread awareness of #FH - #HoFH. HoFH is the rare and severe form of Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic lipid condition that causes high cholesterol. It is estimated that HoFH affects 1 person in 300,000 people around the world. HoFH happens when a child inherits two copies of an altered gene that causes FH, one copy from each parent. Due to its rarity, the situation of people with HoFH is often overlooked, which does not do justice to the gravity of the condition and the challenges patients with HoFH and their families face. There is an urgent need for a screening programme to allow early diagnosis, preventive treatment and improved cardiovascular health outcomes for people with #HoFh and their families. If you are aware that you have #FH - #HoFH, we would love to hear from you. Share your #PatientVoice to help others, please complete the form on our website and our team will get in touch ๐ www.heartandstrokevoice.ie #PatientAdvocacy #PatientPower #Unite4HoFH #RareDisease #UseHeart to #KnowHoFH #FindHoFH #maythe4thbewithyou

Everything has changed. Being that we spend 4 to 5 weeks living at the hospital, we donโt get to create new memories or start new traditions with our daughter. Her diagnosis has also paused us to continue to grow our family. While we should be taking the time to focus solely on her, both Dad & I still need to work to pay our regular bills & now the additional medical expenses that we never anticipated.โ โ Chemo has dimmed so much of her positive light. She used to laugh & smile all the time, but now we fight just to get a smile out of her. Adelina loves her cousins, and whenever she sees them โ she lights up and laughs at everything. She loves to climb & explore, absolutely loves the outdoors, she enjoys playing with toys that she can pull apart or build back up. More than anything, she loves water! But because of her broviac, she canโt get wet. She loves to play guitar like her dad and sing, even though we have no clue what sheโs saying.โ โ โ Hope session by @eganeyesphotography

The right fertility clinic for one person might not be the best choice for the next, because people pick their clinic based on many different reasons. Some people prioritise a lower price point, whilst others may require a more personalised approach to their care, which can increase the overall cost of treatment.

Let the wisdom of Gabor Mate, from his book โWhen the Body says No- The Cost of Hidden Stressโ sink in deep: we hold the reins of our health destiny. It's not merely about receiving treatment, but about actively participating in our wellness journey. When we're unwell, it's essential to step into our power as active participants. Our medical system may sometimes falter in fostering this collaborative approach. Doctors may be experts, but they're not the sole authority. YOUR experience, YOUR insights, YOUR needs matter. Advocate for yourself. Speak up. Be heard. Your health journey deserves your active participation. Taking ownership of your health isn't just empoweringโit's liberating. That means following through when it gets hard, creating the healthy habits, and making the chances needed to be well. It's a testament to your strength and resilience.

Patients and their healthcare providers will be able to schedule and manage appointments with ease. IS4H will also increase patient access to results from laboratory, medical imaging, medical records, X-ray and other services. It will also increase the speed and security with which clinicians and providers access this data as well. The reduction in paperwork and elimination of duplication of efforts and wastage will make the healthcare system safer and more efficient. IS4H will feature an intuitive and comprehensive patient portal where patients will be able to manage all aspects of their healthcare, communicate directly with healthcare providers for non-urgent inquiries or follow-ups, securely view and manage payments for healthcare services. Tying it all together will be the electronic health record. This will be a paradigm shift in Bahamian healthcare. Implementation of an EHR system will be a quantum leap forward in ensuring the best healthcare for everyone in The Bahamas healthcare system. #IS4H #IS4HBahamas๐ง๐ธ #BetterHealthBahamas #PatientPower
Hendrix was diagnosed with Wilmโs Tumor in December 2021. My husband and I noticed bloating in his tummy and his belly button protruding more than normal. For a couple weeks, we didnโt think much of it, until the swelling increased mainly on his right side. He had fevers on and off but we attributed the fevers to him recently starting Kindergarten and being exposed to lots of germs at school. He never complained of any pain!โ โ Hendrix underwent 7 days of proton radiation therapy to his abdomen and pelvic area, and 6 months of chemotherapy. He had surgery to remove the 17cm tumor from his right kidney. They removed his right kidney as well since it was too involved. He also had to get a bronchial procedure done to test the lymph nodes in his lungs, which thank God were non-cancerous. He is one year in remission and was recently declared cancer-free at his 1 year CT scan and check-up.โ โ The cancer diagnosis changed everything and for the better! What the enemy meant for evil, God used it for our good and we can testify to that! We are healthier now physically, mentally and spiritually. We take care of our bodies and what we put in and on them. We cherish every moment and are thankful always.โ โ Hendrix was so strong throughout this whole journey! You look at him now and you would never know he went through something so traumatic. He is my hero! He would get chemo and come home to play with his little brother like nothing happened!โ โ โ Hope session by @t.w.gallopphotography
Thank you @plantpurpose.life for your compassionate and supportive words about the work of the IACM Patient Council. As you quite rightly point out: it is indeed the patients who started this movement - and we must be kept front and centre at every point in the evolution of the medical cannabis industry. Check out the blog post about when Plant Purpose met the IACM Patient Council: https://plant-purpose.org/uncategorized/exploring-barcelonas-cannabis-conferences/ #wethepatients #activism #patientpower #cannabis #advocacy

Ethan had his routine MRI on October 18th, 2023 and he had clear scans! He had another clear scan on Jan 17, 2024! His type of cancer is very aggressive and there is a high chance of relapse, so this is amazing news!โ โ โ Hope session by @ashleyshippyphotography
